Halo Clyde McCoy Wah Replica Circuit Board (Populated)
Halo · pedal
This is a circuit-accurate replica printed circuit board for the Clyde McCoy era Vox wah, populated with all components already soldered rather than sold as a bare board, aimed at the DIY pedal-building and wah-modding community. The Clyde McCoy designation refers to the specific inductor and potentiometer values found in the earliest, most prized run of Vox wah pedals, named after the trumpet player whose muted-horn playing inspired the wah effect's vocal quality, and remains the benchmark tone that later Vox and Dunlop Crybaby wahs are measured against. Halo produces these boards specifically so builders can source an accurate reproduction of that original circuit without hunting down vintage parts.
